This DVD collection features the mid-career film and television work of Midi Onodera. After her impressive debut in the early 1980s, Onodera’s films continued to grow in sophistication and critical acclaim, earning accolades for their aesthetic complexity and their take on difficult political and personal issues. Her work is featured in numerous international exhibitions and screenings and included in the collections of many art galleries, libraries and universities.

Focusing on selected works from 1988 to 1990, this DVD volume includes Onodera’s experimental documentary, “The Displaced View.” Set against the background of suppressed Japanese-Canadian history, the film traces a personal search for identity and pride through the stories of three generations of women.

Additional material includes interviews with film and media scholars Kass Banning, Monika Kin Gagnon and filmmaker Midi Onodera and an essay from film lecturer, Nadine Sivak.
